In this episode, we discuss our favorite new vinyl releases of 2019. We also discuss our favorite used vinyl finds while shopping this year. We bought a lot of records this year and had a hard time narrowing down our picks!

In this episode we discuss all the records we bought on Record Store Day/Black Friday. We picked up a few RSD specific releases each and then went crazy in the used bins. So many records were bought.
